Thanks to a microtonal university session I was introduced to 37 notes per octave (edo). Here I use an Linnstrument to play an older version of Kontakt french horn section in 37 edo.
Using my sonic Mustang plugged into the Behringer perfect pitch to drive Brains and to use the midi stream to trigger two Live drum kits. Proof of Concept.
Besides you I'm the first person to hear this.. if I'm reading the status correctly. Thanks for putting that there 😁. You're using the live effects 👍🏻 nicely 😄.. my heart goes to the federal employees people that lost their jobs because they just didn't have job security and had not worked long enough to not be fired 😕. Gosh I am starting to get scared about complaining of the madness 😭.. peace ✌🏻🕊️
Frequency modulation frequencies may be interesting to see what you have and listen to it is maybe a four oscillator task.. everything I noticed is usually a oscillator modulated another oscillator depending on routings that third oscillator modulated each of the other two oscillators in parallel or together in series.. the fourth oscillator would need multiple switches to work and choose from for the configuration then the task is to listen to hear what way is the sound that is needed.. I am not sure if that makes sense??

Time waits for no one
We are all adrift

A composition for 3 piece jazz band, tenor sax, fretless bass, and drums in 14 equal divisions of the octave and 5/4 time. This was realized using Garritan Jazz and Big Band sample set and Sonar X1.
I'm going to put this in my profile if it will fit.
the question of how microtonality is perceived and why is a hotly debated one on the tuning list. There seems to be, in general, but not in all cases, shared intervals around the world, like the 5th. However non-western cultures use, in general, microtonal tunings. !2 equal notes to an octave is a relatively recent invention in the west. 300 years ago it was common for what would be now called a microtonal tuning to be in common, everyday use. As best as can be determined the push for 12 equal was all about changing keys in a single piece of music. If you take the tuning of the middle ages, Pythagorean, you find you can't play in any key despite having 12 notes because the intervals between the notes are not equally spaced. As a result when you take a pure chord and move it up or down the octave with the same distance between the notes it could become something hideous. 12 Equal solves that problem at the expense of detuning all notes, some more than others.

Hi Ricard, thanks for the listen and comment. It is probably hard not to hear 14 edo as out of tune since it so close to 12 but not quite there. I think then your sense of it being flattened and less bright is the result of the tuning.
On the three GR-20 pieces uploaded 6/8/11 this is how it works. In a nutshell - my guitar replaces a keyboard - but can do more.
Everything you hear is driven by me playing my Fender Mustang in one improvised pass. Now, for each song the Fender Mustang by itself (or through an amp simulator) is heard - this sound comes from the traditional pick ups on the guitar. Besides that I have installed a Roland GK-3 pick up on my Mustang. This pick up has 6 tiny picks ups - one for each string and connects to a fairly large switch and then a 1/4" cable with some 11 lines - regular guitar output and 6 outputs for the GK-3. This cable connects to the GR-20 synthesizer / midi interface. The GR-20 first decodes, almost instantly, the note each string is playing. It then converts that to midi pitch information and shoves that out the back. More on that later. Also, since the GR-20 is a synthesizer besides, it takes the pitch information and routes it to an internal sound (if desired). The really interesting part is what happens when I route that midi output to my computer. At my computer Sonar lets me assign that midi data to any number of synthesizers / samplers/ what-have-you all at the same time. So, if I want a voice or strings or piano - no problem. As for drums - Kontakt has a really neat groups of sampled drum sets that are a combination of "one shots" and smaller loops. So for instance on one of the pieces when I played the C below middle C I got a snare roll, play the B below it I get the accent that finishes the roll. So, by playing many notes I get a complex assortment of drum sounds that are in time with my playing. I've used this technique before - I am learning how to control it better - and the response is different for each of the dozen or so drum kits packaged with Kontakt - and then consider the effect of different tempos - the result is a fair amount of variety.
Well Reg is a touch concerned about his new love Lorraine who has been missing for last two days and she's not answering his calls and his getting a little touchy about it ....a little insecure to be truthful........................

So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...

Coming down…
Good one! You have a way, like The Boss, of touching something about life in your songs that just resonates. And judging from the comments -- resonates with pretty much everyone who hears.
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.

I went out during cover of night (to avoid looking like a total crackpot) with a violin bow & Zoom H2 digital recorder and bowed various things in the neighborhood. This is the best - a beautifully resonant 4-way stop sign.

Good song!
my first "comeback" song after a 10 yr hiatus, thanks to chris.
ZOWIE!!!!!
What does "it" represent? Or mean 🤔
Goodbye Ozzy
What a neat process to make the song 😎😁 I'm going to try stuff with the chatGPT
lovely
Very great 👍🏻
satisfying
Excellent 👌🏻

this sounds like a lazy summer afternoon under the magnolias! Lovely!
Haunting Chris, as it should be! Viola and layering sounds really good!

Hey, cool. Nice and clean good vocal layering.
Nicely done. I like the eerie-ness in the vocals.
Is this a duet with you and the computer voice??? OMG so awesome 💯 this is about feeling the gratitude.. so nice ☺️
Y E S !
Very interesting and cool 😃

This is beautiful! I love the bluesy feel. Would it be ok if I try to add to this?

your vocal control amazes me - excellent story and song!

I'm liking this!
this is a cool rocking piece - but didn't you use B maj as a resolution of B sus in there?
yes I am. With *lots* of rosin on the hair.
naw, I have nothing to do with NMC or DJNS. I was a part of 2 star man and that was enough for me!
excellent - and great solo!
more than just paulstretch I'd say - or different. in any case a cool idea!
I like the groove you two get going on this.
and a lovely romance it was.
can't say I'm done 4ths - I'm usually fixated on 5ths - nice improv - did you play the synth at the same time?
lovely is too mild of a word - this is gorgeous and spell binding.
very enjoyable!
2 am at a smoky bar with an audience mesmerized by the band.
nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
the post was not resonant.
